The Gendarmenmarkt is probably the most beautiful square in Berlin, where the architectural ensemble of the Berlin concert hall,, the French and German churches can be found.
First built in 1688 the buildings suffered substantial damage during WWII, all buildings were subsequently restored.
In the summer orchestras play classic melodies at the Classic Open Air festival and in winter the square is transformed into one of Berlin’s best-loved traditional Christmas markets.
